My mom gave me a Kool Action game for my birthday on October 27, 2010, and I was SO excited. When I opened it, I could see that parts were missing, so we went back to the store and tried to return it. They said tough luck and wouldn't even talk to us. Now, I'm writing to you to try and get my money back so I can get something else for my birthday that actually works. Mom said it cost $109.99, but we spent a lot of time trying to get it returned, so I think you should send me at leat $125.00. Besides, it was for my birthday!The passage above is excerpted from the body of a letter of complaint. Which statement evaluates the effectiveness of this passage best?

->The letter is well written, using appropriate tone and specific details.
>The tone of the letter is too informal and lacks details needed for a good resolution.
>The writer should be given more money because it was a birthday gift.
>The letter is effective in its tone but lacks specific details.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: That would be B, or the second choice. This letter is not only informal and lacking of tone, but there are some major errors. Capitalizing words like "SO" makes this informal. Also, they should have used quotes. There are some spelling errors, like saying "leat" instead of "least." Small details like this have the power to make or destroy a good argument. In this case, it was destroyed.
Answer 2
Answer:

the correct answer is : The tone of the letter is too informal and lacks details needed for a good resolution.

It’d seen a child die—Depression--a war, Which stylistic or literary device is demonstrated in line 7? A) satire B) allusion C) repetition D) internal rhyme

Answers

The literary device demonstrated in this line is allusion.

The correct answer is B.

An allusion in literature is a brief and indirect reference like the one in this sentence; in general, it can be referred to a person, a place, a thing or an idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It doesn't describe in detail the thing to which it refers.

Answer:

The stylistic device demonstrate in line 7 is:

B. an allusion

Explanation:

First of all, satire is a way of using graphic elements to criticize someone's intelligence. Second, repetition is the use of the same word to provide the same level of importance to all the elements. third, the internal rhyme is the rhyme between two words inside the same sentence. In this text we have two pairs of words ending in the same letter, however, they don't build a rhyme. However, we have an allusion. Which is te act of including a concept not described in the text to establish a relation between it and another object in the text.
